I know I am going to offend some people but 7/8 is not a July and never has been. I understand you feed and buy your dog feed and I am ok with your mixed up dogs if thats what you want. I couldn't and wouldn't accept any trophy from a winning with a mixed up dog. I have worked all my life (be 70 my next birthday) to keep the breed pure as anyone knows. I am not saying my dogs are any better than others but I know where they come from, I will continue to honor the people before me that did their best to breed the pure Julys. It has gotton down to where I can count on both hands the true July breeders that are left. Good luck to all attending the July National.
What are full blooded Julys suppose to look like. I used to think a July as having thicker coat and a different head, more ear than a walker. Also color, just wanted your opinion. Is there a smooth hair July and thick hair. Just wondering. Thanks.
If full blooded July hounds are so great, then why do they need there own hunt that doesn't allow any other dogs? Maybe we should have a cull dog national so I can get my name called!
JAMES WE HAVE TALKED BEFORE AND I AM GLAD TO SEE YOU ARE A LEGEND IN YOUR OWN MIND...NOW JULYS DO HAVE A HEAVIER COAT OF HAIR THEY COME IN EVERY COLOR...THE REASON WE HAVE A JULY NATIONAL IS SO ALL THE JULY BREEDERS CAN GET TOGATHER ONCE A YEAR...CONGRADULATIONS TO GREG PERRY AND RODNEY SWEAT FOR WINNING THE DERBY AND HOWARD OWEN FOR WINNING THE ALL AGE AND WHITEY TURNER FOR WINNING THE SHOW.....CHARLIE WALKER
